History of Revolution Day June 30

President Mubarak resigned in 2011, after mass demonstrations across Egypt ended his 29 year rule. The first ever democratic presidential elections in Egypt tool place in 2012, with Mohamed Morsi becoming president.

Faced with political stalemate in November 2012, Morsi made a constitutional declaration that gave the president increased powers. This move along with ongoing economic issues, energy shortages, lack of security, and diplomatic crises led to widespread resentment against his leadership.

On 30 June, 14 million protesters demonstrated across Egypt against Morsi. This led to a military coup on 3 July removing Morsi from power.
